IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!! The whole office was so alive today! =)
Met Vick after work for an impromptu movie "Wild Hogs"... Haha.. I'd probably rate it 3.5/5 Haha funny show. But I dosed off a little halfway.. Just tired ba.. =)
While in the toilet ytd, some lyrics flashed through my mind..
In Your presence I stand in awe
Stilled by Your holiness
Oh that precious moment
When I could barely hear the world
I like the last line a lot.. Esp now that I'm part of the infamous 'office crowd' and engaged in the bustle of the marketplace, I really appreciate quiet moments alone at home playing my instruments.. And quiet time with God at night in my room where He nv fails to renew my strength for tmr's challenges.
Hmmmm, however after mingling with the working adults, I'm rather confused... Ya, asian culture taught that we must respect our seniors and I'm totally agreeable to that... However, I questioned myself.. "What about them? What kind of attitude should they have towards the younger ones?" Uh, that's less enforced isn't it. Do we just swallow all down when being pushed around? Or can we voice out? If we are only reasoning, is it us who are disrepectful? Or are they too prideful to hear and see from our point of view? Or too afraid to 'lose face' if we are actually reasonable?
Someone enlighten me please..
Take for example...
Me: *pointing on a piece of paper* Is this the address?
Colleague: *jokingly* you are old enough to see yourself
Me: *in my mind* Er...... ok...........
After a while,
colleague: *point to a name on a paper* Is this 'U' or what ah?
Me: *jokingly* you are old enough to see yourself
colleague: wah you mei da mei xiao leh..
Ok alright.. see? We said the same thing.. But I'm the rude one now.
"....???"
Haha but don't get the wrong idea.. I enjoy working with my colleagues, I feel blessed. They are nice and fun people to be around with.. Just a lil' confused about the above...
*Patience is the companion of wisdom.
